🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue: Camera Not Working

Symptoms: Black screen, no camera feed

Solutions:

# 1. Check camera permissions
# Windows: Settings → Privacy → Camera
# macOS: System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Camera
# Linux: Check /dev/video* permissions

# 2. Try different camera index
EMO_CAMERA_INDEX=1 emotion-recognition

# 3. Check camera is not in use
lsof | grep video  # Linux/macOS
# Close other applications using camera

# 4. Test with OpenCV directly
python -c "
import cv2
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
print(f'Camera opened: {cap.isOpened()}')
cap.release()
"

Issue: DEAP Data Not Loading

Symptoms: Error message "File not found"

Solutions:

# 1. Verify data path
ls data/deap/data_preprocessed_python/

# 2. Check file format
file data/deap/data_preprocessed_python/s01.dat
# Should show: data

# 3. Verify permissions
chmod -R 755 data/deap/

# 4. Test loading manually
python -c "
import pickle
with open('data/deap/data_preprocessed_python/s01.dat', 'rb') as f:
    data = pickle.load(f, encoding='latin1')
    print('Success!')
"

Issue: High CPU Usage

Symptoms: CPU at 100%, UI laggy

Solutions:

# 1. Increase update intervals
# Edit .env:
PLOT_UPDATE_INTERVAL=200  # Instead of 100
CAMERA_UPDATE_INTERVAL=66  # Instead of 33

# 2. Disable face detection
# Uncheck "Enable Face Detection"

# 3. Close unused tabs
# Only keep active tab open

# 4. Reduce plot complexity
# Show fewer channels in EEG view

Issue: MTCNN Not Working

Symptoms: "MTCNN not available" warning

Solutions:

# 1. Install TensorFlow
pip install mtcnn tensorflow

# 2. For CPU-only (smaller download)
pip install mtcnn tensorflow-cpu

# 3. For GPU (requires CUDA)
pip install mtcnn tensorflow-gpu

# 4. Verify installation
python -c "
from mtcnn import MTCNN
print('MTCNN available!')
"

Issue: PyQt6 Import Error

Symptoms: "No module named 'PyQt6'"

Solutions:

# 1. Reinstall PyQt6
pip uninstall PyQt6
pip install PyQt6

# 2. Check Python version
python --version  # Must be 3.10+

# 3. Verify installation
python -c "
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication
print('PyQt6 installed!')
"

Issue: Type Errors in IDE

Symptoms: MyPy errors in IDE but code runs

Solutions:

# 1. Install type stubs
pip install types-requests types-Pillow

# 2. Update MyPy configuration
# pyproject.toml
[tool.mypy]
ignore_missing_imports = true

# 3. Restart IDE
# VS Code: Reload Window
# PyCharm: File → Invalidate Caches

Debug Mode

Enable verbose logging for troubleshooting:

# Method 1: Environment variable
EMO_DEBUG=true EMO_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG emotion-recognition

# Method 2: Edit .env
DEBUG=true
LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG

# Method 3: Command-line argument (if implemented)
emotion-recognition --debug

Check logs:

# View real-time logs
tail -f logs/emotion_recognition.log

# Search for errors
grep ERROR logs/emotion_recognition.log

# Search for warnings
grep WARNING logs/emotion_recognition.log

❓ FAQ

General Questions

Q: What is emotion recognition?

A: Emotion recognition is the process of identifying human emotions using physiological signals (EEG, PPG, etc.) or visual cues (facial expressions). This system uses multiple modalities for robust emotion detection.

Q: What emotions can be detected?

A: The system uses the arousal-valence model, which maps emotions in a 2D space:

High Arousal + High Valence: Happy, Excited
High Arousal + Low Valence: Angry, Stressed
Low Arousal + High Valence: Calm, Relaxed
Low Arousal + Low Valence: Sad, Bored

Q: Is this ready for production use?

A: Yes! Version 2.0 is production-ready with:

✅ 100% type safety
✅ Comprehensive testing
✅ Zero linting errors
✅ Security scanning
✅ Performance optimizations

Technical Questions

Q: Why PyQt6 instead of PyQt5?

A: PyQt6 offers:

Better performance
Modern Python packaging
Active development
Better type hints support

Q: Can I use my own EEG device?

A: Yes, but you'll need to write a custom data loader. The system expects data in DEAP format (40 channels, 128 Hz).

Q: Can I add new ML algorithms?

A: Yes! The architecture is extensible:

# src/emotion_recognition/core/ml_models.py
class CustomModel(BaseModel):
    def train(self, X, y):
        # Your training code
        pass

    def predict(self, X):
        # Your prediction code
        pass

Q: How accurate is the emotion detection?

A: Current accuracy:

Arousal: ~85-90% (KNN)
Valence: ~80-85% (KNN)
Face Detection: ~95%+ (MTCNN)

Accuracy depends on:

Data quality
Algorithm choice
Feature engineering
Subject variability

Data Questions

Q: Where can I get the DEAP dataset?

A: Download from DEAP website. Registration required.

Q: Can I use my own dataset?

A: Yes, but you'll need to adapt the data loader. Expected format:

{
    "data": np.array,  # Shape: (trials, channels, samples)
    "labels": np.array  # Shape: (trials, 4)  # arousal, valence, dominance, liking
}

Q: How much storage do I need?

A: Breakdown:

Application: ~500 MB
DEAP dataset: ~3.4 GB
Models (saved): ~100 MB
Logs: ~50 MB
Total: ~5 GB recommended

Privacy & Security

Q: Is my data collected or sent anywhere?

A: No. All data processing is local. No telemetry or analytics.

Q: Can I use this offline?

A: Yes! Once dependencies are installed, no internet connection is needed.

Q: Is camera data stored?

A: No. Camera frames are processed in real-time and not saved unless you explicitly export them.
